"Look! It's those fellows from Luo Jiang City. "
Xiong Quan's eyes were sharp as he cried out.
Duan Lingtian and the other two followed his gaze and saw the five people from Luo Jiang City standing in the distance with Luo Yi, the City Governor, in the lead.
Luo Yi seemed to have noticed their gazes as he turned around. When he realized it was them, he narrowed his eyes as a sinister smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Fang Hui's heart sank when he saw the sneer on Mo Wuji's face.
He knew Luo Yi very well and knew he was not someone to be trifled with. He must be plotting something against his three disciples for him to smirk like that.
"The three of you must be careful when you enter the sect. Although the sect does not allow killing at will, if someone really wants to harm you, there are thousands of ways to do so. "
Fang Hui took a deep breath and reminded Duan Lingtian and the other two.
Duan Lingtian and the other two nodded.
"Yo! Isn't this Duan Lingtian? "
Suddenly, a voice resonated from afar and was getting closer.
When Duan Ling Tian turned around with a bewildered expression, he saw a young man standing in front of him … This was a young man in a black robe. His face was cold, and his entire body emitted a gloomy aura.
This aura made one feel uneasy.
"You're … Ye Man?"
Duan Lingtian asked with uncertainty after he studied the young man in front of him for a while.
The young man in front of him was very different from the person in his memory.
Therefore, even he did not dare to confirm it.
"It seems like you have a good memory, Duan Lingtian. You still remember me, Ye Man … Why? Guo Li didn't come? "
A cold smirk appeared on the corner of Ye Man's mouth, and his eyes gleamed coldly.
Ye Man was one of the first human Martial Cultivators that Duan Lingtian met when he arrived near the Dao Martial Saint Land. At that time, Ye Man was with Guo Li and Lin Qing Rong.
He was also the most outstanding disciple from the Yeh family in Fuyu Town. His cultivation base was only inferior to Guo Li among the younger generation in Fuyu Town.
Initially, Lin Qing Rong was going to bring Guo Li and Ye Man back to the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City.
However, Duan Lingtian appeared out of nowhere. Because Lin Qing Rong had limited slots, Ye Man was eliminated according to the rules of survival of the fittest.
Duan Lingtian never thought that he would meet Ye Man here.
One had to know that Ye Man's strength was inferior to even Guo Li's.
Where did his confidence come from?
Out of curiosity, Duan Lingtian activated his Heaven's Eye Connection. With just a glance, it caused his heartbeat to accelerate.
"How is that possible? This Ye Man … has actually broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage! "
Duan Lingtian was filled with shock and disbelief.
He still remembered.
A year ago, when he first met Guo Li and Ye Man, both of them were only at the middle stage of the Mortal Shedding Stage.
Until now, even Guo Li was only at the mastery stage of the Mortal Shedding Stage … However, this Ye Man whose innate talent was not as good as Guo Li's had actually broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage?
"This Ye Man doesn't seem to have just broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage … I'm afraid his strength has even surpassed Xiao Zhui from Luo Jiang City! Even Su Qi might not be a match for him. "
Duan Lingtian was slightly frightened.
Even if it was all of a sudden, he did not dare to say he had full confidence in defeating Ye Man now.
Duan Lingtian found it hard to imagine.
A person who had been defeated by him a year ago, a person whom he had the confidence to defeat in a single blow … Now, a year later, he possessed a strength that even he feared.
What exactly had happened to Ye Man in the past year?
"Eh? He knows Guo Li? "
Xiong Hu was a little surprised. "Duan Lingtian, he's a friend of yours and Guo Li's?"
"Yes, we're old friends … Old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time. Especially Duan Lingtian, I haven't been able to forget about him for more than a year. "
Ye Man smiled. His smile was a little cold, sending chills down one's spine.
At that moment, Xiong Hu also felt that something was amiss.
"Devil Cultivator?"
Fang Hui asked with a frown as he glanced at Ye Man in fear.
Devil Cultivator?
Fang Hui's words made Ling Yun and Xiong Hu's expressions change slightly.
As for Duan Lingtian, he only had a shocked expression on his face. When he extended his consciousness into his Spatial Ring, he noticed that the Devilseal Tablet was moving restlessly as though it had sensed something.
At that moment, Duan Lingtian confirmed it.
Ye Man had fallen into the Devil Dao and became a Devil Cultivator.
If that was the case, everything would be easy to explain.
A Devil Cultivator's cultivation speed was beyond logic.
At this moment, the dread Duan Ling Tian had towards Ye Man vanished without a trace.
What a joke!
With his current cultivation base, he could even kill a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage Devil Cultivator by activating the Devilseal Tablet! Let alone a mere Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage Devil Cultivator.
"You must be City Governor Fang from Mound Hill City, right?"
Ye Man looked at Fang Hui and smiled coldly. "City Governor Fang, I was abandoned by your subordinate Lin Qing Rong a year ago … Speaking of which, if Lin Qing Rong didn't abandon me, I wouldn't be where I am today.
So, I've decided … I'll definitely take good care of the people from Mound Hill City after I join the Moon Illumination Sect. "
At this point, Ye Man's gaze was filled with interest as he sized up Xiong Hu and Ling Yun, causing Xiong Hu's expression to change. As for Ling Yun, his expression also turned solemn.
Devil Cultivators were known for their fast cultivation speed and ruthless character.
Even they had to be wary of them.
Moreover, they could faintly sense that the Devil Cultivator before them was so powerful that they could not compare to him.
Fang Hui frowned.
At that moment, he also sensed that Ye Man was not friendly.
"Since we've known each other for a while, I'll take good care of you too."
Duan Lingtian glanced at Ye Man indifferently and smiled.
Duan Lingtian's reaction stunned Fang Hui and the other two.
"You'll take care of me?"
Ye Man was stunned at first, but he could not help but laugh. His laugh was even colder. "I'll wait and see. Unfortunately, Guo Li isn't here. It'd be perfect if she was here. "
Ye Man ignored Duan Lingtian and turned to leave after he finished speaking.
Although he wanted to tear Duan Lingtian into pieces, he knew it was not the right time to attack Duan Lingtian. Otherwise, he might be disqualified from joining the Moon Illumination Sect's entrance assessment.
Moreover, it would be difficult for him to kill Duan Lingtian with the City Governor of Mound Hill City present.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry.
When Duan Lingtian entered the Moon Illumination Sect, would he not be a piece of meat on his chopping board?
"Senior Brother Duan, how did you and Guo Li get to know this Devil Cultivator?"
Xiong Hu could not help but ask Duan Lingtian when he saw Ye Man leaving. He could not help but look at him.
"This matter, we have to start from a year ago …."
Duan Lingtian told him about how he met Lin Qing Rong, Guo Li, and Ye Man a year ago. He did not even leave out the details of how the three of them interacted with each other.
"Does this mean Ye Man wasn't a Devil Cultivator back then?"
Fang Hui asked with a frown.
"Absolutely not."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "He's like a completely different person compared to back then! I couldn't recognize him when I saw him earlier. The change is too drastic. "
"It seems like he's fallen into the Devil Dao for more than a year, and his cultivation base has improved by leaps and bounds."
Xiong Hu said with dread on his face, "However, does the Moon Illumination Sect accept Devil Cultivators?"
Xiong Hu was not the only one looking at Fang Hui. Even Duan Lingtian and Ling Yun were looking at Fang Hui.
They were curious about this as well.
"As long as he's not a Devil Cultivator who offends the Heavens, the sect will never reject him … Not only that, there are many Devil Cultivators in the sect," Fang Hui said.
Fang Hui replied.
Soon after, Fang Hui regained his senses and said through True Energy Voice Transmission, "Duan Lingtian, although Ye Man wasn't a match for you a year ago … Since he's a Devil Cultivator, he can't be judged by common sense! Perhaps, his ability has surpassed yours now. "
"If you encounter him, avoid him if you can. Don't fight him head-on."
Fang Hui reminded him patiently, "I have a feeling that his ability is even more powerful than Xiao Zhui from Luo Jiang City."
Although he did not probe Ye Man's cultivation base with his Spiritual Secret Tactic, Fang Hui could roughly determine Ye Man's cultivation base based on the aura on his body.
"He's on the Saint Rudiment Stage?"
Xiong Hu exclaimed.
"If he's not on the Saint Rudiment Stage … He should be on the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage! However, if he's a Devil Cultivator, it'll be easy for him to enter the Saint Rudiment Stage, "Fang Hui said as he shook his head.
Fang Hui shook his head and said. His words revealed his foresight and wisdom.
"However, his ability isn't something that Xiao Zhui from Luo Jiang City can compare to."
Fang Hui's face was solemn when he reached the end of his sentence.
"He's so powerful?"
Xiong Hu gasped while Ling Yun had a look of dread on his face.
Duan Lingtian was the only one who remained calm. It was as though his expression would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
To him, regardless of whether Ye Man was a Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage Devil Cultivator or a Saint Rudiment Stage Devil Cultivator, he could easily crush him with the Devilseal Tablet that he activated.
"Duan Lingtian, don't be careless."
Fang Hui frowned and reminded Duan Lingtian when he saw how calm Duan Lingtian was. He thought Duan Lingtian had underestimated his opponent.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Suddenly, an old voice that contained True Energy resonated. It suppressed the noisy atmosphere at the scene and temporarily restored peace. It was as though one could hear a pin drop on the ground.
At the same time, everyone, including Duan Lingtian, shifted their attention to the old man standing on the spacious stone platform.
The old man was surrounded by two middle-aged men like stars surrounding the moon.
"Welcome to our Moon Illumination Sect's entrance assessment! I won't beat around the bush. What I'm going to say next involves the assessment rules, so I'll make it short. "
After suppressing the crowd's clamor, the old man continued to say, "Our Moon Illumination Sect's entrance assessment is divided into two stages … The first stage is where we'll perform the Spiritual Secret Tactic to check the participants' age and cultivation base."
As long as they're below the age of 40 and have a cultivation base above the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, they'll be able to pass the first stage of the assessment. "
